Frexit Party

The Frexit Party was a right-wing populist and Eurosceptic political party in France which was founded in 2016 by Antoine Ausemme. The party, based out of Lyon, was founded due to its advocacy for Frexit (the French exit from the European Union) in the aftermath of the successful Brexit referendum. The Frexit Party took inspiration from UKIP, promoting a strong sense of nationalism, populism, and opposition to growing multiculturalism. In its first election in 2016, the party won 11.54% of the vote, becoming the fifth-largest party in the National Assembly after the Socialist Party of France, National Front of France, Europe Ecology - The Greens, and The Republicans. Leader Ausemme, Amelie Farragut, Chloe Antoine, and Louis Uberte were elected to the National Assembly and formed a coalition government with The Republicans.
